Anti-Aliasing & Upscaling tips

DLSS always shines on RTX cards. You can turn it on for more sharper edges and gameplay. Skip DLAA if using DLSS (it degrades performance); instead, disable in-game AA and force TAA using NVIDIA/AMD tools.

On AMD, FSR at Balanced reduces aliasing without blurring. Pro tip: If your GPU weeps, lock 120 FPS—cutscenes smooth up dramatically. These settings are recommended by Deltias Gaming.
